Yes, this one is beyond its Best Before date 28/02/2026, and yes, I have reduced it accordingly. That date marks optimum quality, not a dramatic collapse into danger. The jalapeño still delivers a steady, honest warmth — perhaps a touch less sprightly, but no less enjoyable. Mild? Perhaps. Boring? Never. This Jalapeño Hot Sauce sneaks up on you with a gentle kick, a citrusy lime tang, and roasted pepper depth that keeps the tongue entertained. I’ve tried it on tacos, eggs, and grilled chicken — each bite a reminder that even the “tame” can have attitude. Fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced, it’s the kind of sauce you’ll use every day without fear of total combustion.
